My university had mobile security alerts via text. They are introducing more mobile interfaces. See them on the web site. I won't call them "apps". Apple is not my research director.

Hi All -
My doctoral class is doing a collab course, and our project is mobile app development for the university. Just started background research, and I'm wondering if anybody knows of any interesting apps that universities have developed for their students to use?
Thanks kindly.

HI Peter, I have always considered the term "apps' to refer to 'applications' rather than to 'apple'. It is an interesting notion to think that when people say 'apps', they are habitually referring to a product label. Do you think this is true? joan On 14-Mar-10, at 7:26 PM, Peter Timusk wrote:

I am thinking of the abbreviation to "apps" for applications and then to the word "apps" appearing in TV adds for the iPhone in Ontario Canada. I didn't think app stood for Apple. Being raised mostly on TV in a family where one parent complained about my TV habits and another watched with me....bla bla. I learned in early social science studies referencing TV and radio is problematic. So I just avoid it. On 14-Mar-10, at 8:12 PM, jcu wrote:

Peter, your point is well taken, namely that research dollars shouldn't fund the expansion of marketshare for a particular company. But honestly, I do find it a compelling research topic to incorporate the design of information systems into education, rather than just the critique of them. Sure, researchers love to observe, and that's all well and good, but why always eschew agency? Observation is not apolitical, and as Heisenberg tells us, it's also not a lack of interaction! Designing "apps" (or applications, if it suits one better) is a challenging prospect, and I think it would behoove researches to attempt to identify meaningful criteria for designing them well. Isn't such active experimentation in line with your perception of the spirit of research? On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 8:55 PM, Peter Timusk <ptimusk@sympatico.ca> wrote:

Hi, For the latin universities there is a new social net www.campusmovil.net, it's only in spanish, but here this is an explanation of how it works in english http://hci.stanford.edu/jbrandt/hugo/cm_joel.html Campus Móvil was born in Stanford University in 2007 from the investigation “Mobile devices and Web 2.0 apps. Towards to design a prototype of university teaching innovation”. Cristina Master in Interactive Digital Communication Universitat de Vic Barcelona (Spain) El 15/03/2010, a las 0:12, jcu escribió:
